Native Americans have been marginalized by society. In 'Would We Be Killed?', Captain Henry stated "Kill the Indian, save the man." And later in the text it says that the indians are savage. Almost meaning like they're wild, or like animals. So Henry wanted to save these Indians and make them more civil, like the white people. This shows that the Indians have been discriminated and been called savages.
The purpose of this essay is to show that Native Americans aren't really that different than us. They wear regular clothes, have celebrations, have grocery stores, have TV and do many other things that we do. Shanice Britton is saying that Native Americans are no different than anybody else, they do a lot of the same things. They also do many different things, in ceremonies they wear their traditional clothes, also they like to hunt a lot. They kill dears and make soups out of them, and have their own slang.
Anthony, you did not mention the specific situation that this whole article is focused around. What did Pratt do to the Indians to force his ideas on them? You must be much more specific.
